any links to 3rd party apps??

After the Jailbreak, 3rd party apps are contained within the Installer.app once you get "Community Sources" downloaded. All the new icons you see in the many screencap threads of jailbroken iPods are from the Installer.app.

I'm not sure if this has been explained yet, but when I install SSH, and then I have to go check it by using the command ssh -1 1paddress, I get the message.

No such command 'ssh'.

I restarted after installing the new OS, and once again after installing SSH, but still get this.

If you're using a Mac, I suggest you use Terminal without installing anything beforehand (like a separate SSH client). If you're using Windows, I recommend using PuTTY instead, I found it easier to use.

I've been using Terminal.

[triela]

I've been using Terminal.

Unfortunately I don't have a Mac available to use and I've only done the Windows jailbreak, but have you tried appending /bin/ before the ssh command?

/bin/ssh -l

if i do this wrong, is there a chance of brickage? I dont want to waste 500 dollars =[

Unfortunately, the short answer is YES. Take a look around at the healthy sprinkling of "Oops, my iPod doesn't work now" and "I can't restore my iPod" threads.

If you choose a jailbreak method, make sure to read through every single step before taking the first one. You have to able to guarantee yourself that you're following each step EXACTLY, and with certainty.

It's all top-level software stuff, no chance of brickage. You can always put the iPod in restore mode and reinstall the OS.

Thanks very much for that!

to add calendar functionality, its easier to just download the "touch caledar fix" off installer.app

[Tclare]

Hey,
I am just wandering where I can pick up copies of the iPhone apps?

Thanks

Tclare

[Rapmastac1]

Just a tip for those who can't get calander to work, I have found out. You don't even have to have the actual program. You gotta make sure that you have the community sources app installed, then from there you go waaaay down to the bottom and it will be called "Calander for the Touch" or something like that, you install that and it will let you add events in the calander!

- Install all ".app" folders into /Applications/ on your iPod.
- Install GMM.framework into /System/Frameworks/ on your iPod.
- Install MobileMailSettings.bundle into /System/PreferenceBundles/ on your iPod.
- Log in to your iPod using an ssh client, then type this command: /bin/chmod -Rf +x /Applications/ (You MUST do this for apps to work!)

can someone please be more specific? Like how do I find /Applications/ on my iPod? And do I install GMM.framework using installer.app or something?

Thanks.

You have to be able to access your iPod at the root level and simply copy the appropriate folders into the directories listed in the original post.

On Windows, this can be done easily with WinSCP (link above, drag+drop). I'm not sure about Mac, as I haven't tried.

i'm usin winscp so far i dragged the apps into the touch now i have to type in chmod -R a+x /Applications/*.

Once you've copied over the files to your iPod, you can highlight these files in the GUI (on the iPod side) and right click to set Properties. You will see a permissions box with an "Octal" field. Enter 0755 and save the settings. This is the equivalent of the chmod command.

[viccles]

I'd love to give this a try but knowing me I'd screw something up :(

[jepaz]

If you managed to clear up to stage 3, you're good to go.

[triela]

Original post updated. Please let me know if there are more links you want included over the past day or so (I wasn't here). Also, if any Mac jailbreakers could tell me if there are better suggestions than I made in the post?

(As is obvious, one of the primary purposes of this thread is to alleviate the occurence of continuously repeated new-thread questions from unexperienced jailbreakers...)

[MagicWok]

I'd like to suggest one thing.

Links for PPC/PC/Intel Mac's for changing the root password after the jailbreak. Otherwise it's easy for someone to access their iPod at the root level.

It's on the original instructions somewhere I think. Very useful for newcomers to the jailbreak scene.


Also info/link to this good bit of info:

Thanks for putting this together. I agree, this should be stickied. I think I'm am going to try to jailbreak my iPod touch (which should be coming tomorrow).

I downloaded the apps and used WinSCP to transfer those file over. Put in right places and such, check properties to see if the they were 0755 in octal field, they were. When I click on any of the icons for the iphone apps the program opens and the app sticks. It stops but if I hit the home button it will drop out and go back to springboard but none of the apps work at all.

Any help?

I am running windows p home, I used the touchfree jailbrake and it worked perfecting first time.

DO have framework 2.0 installed

Please Help.


PS anyone else notice Bluetooth and EDGE setting in the bundle folder on their ipod?

[ComputerMonkey]

I know how to fix the problem. This should be added to the first post:

In WinSCP when changing the permissions to 0755, you need to make sure to check the box at the bottom that says "Set group, owner and permissions recursively."

Hey, Thanks alot. That needs to be added to the first post.



Does anyone know about the Yahoo Mail. I went to yahoo's site and it says the free mail works with it. But I keep getting authentication failed errors. Any ideas? Should I change my password to be longer?

[triela]

I don't remember specifically which commands, but I know that there were several new /bin/ commands introduced to the touch after I installed the BSD package from Installer.app (after completing jailbreak; maybe I'm wrong?). Are you done with the jailbreak? I'd like to verify for myself that the /bin/ commands were added after the BSD package.

Hi

I successfully jailbroke my 16 GB iPod touch (thanks for the great work, folks!) However since I'm using Windows, every ZIP application I have tried handles BoTGoD's archive (http://www.botgod.net/iMobileApps.zip) containing the native iPhone apps differently from Mac OS. Windows actually decompresses the whole *.app file into a folder and subfolders. Because of this little issue, I can't figure out how to get them into the iPod.

Would it be possible to request for the Nullriver folks to make these easily accessible from within Installer.app and make the process of getting Mail/Maps/Notes for the iPod touch as trivial as going to Installer > Install and have a subcategory there alongside Games/Network/Productivity/etc named "iPhone applications" for iPod touch ?

This will surely help a lot of folks on Windows [there are many! there are more iPod touch users who are on Windows than on Mac]. Thanks in advance!

This is exactly how it's supposed to work, and how most people have installed the iPhone apps.

Use WinSCP (http://winscp.net/eng/index.php) to "SFTP" into your iPod touch using the iPod's IP Address. Simply navigate to the right directories on your iPod (listed in the original post) and click-drag-drop the entire folders that you unzipped. When you unzip, you'll notice that the folders are arranged exactly in the locations they should appear copied on to the touch.

Oh. Is that so. I thought the *.app's are sposed to remain intact as archives when you put them in the touch. I'll try this then. Thanks.

That's what I thought too when I first saw mention of the ".app" naming. During jailbreak I realized that ".app" is definitely not a file extension, as you may have thought. It looks only to be a naming convention to designate a folder as containing a specific group of application files.
